The Tudor Dynasty was an era of change that led Britain to capitalism. In just 118 years, it created a golden period in the history of British monarchy and became the most exciting and important part of European history. The Tudor dynasty is also the most notorious royal family in British history. Compared with political achievements, the emotional lives of its members are too rich to ignore and arouse curiosity. In this book, Gristwood not only restores this crucial period in British history and even world history, but also reveals how love irreversibly made and destroyed this dynasty. He also deeply explores the concept of "courtly love" and focuses on analyzing the driving force and importance of female characters in the confrontation of power.
